I think generally solutions should be applied in proportion to
1. The relative harm of the type of PFA to human and animal health
2. The longevity of that PFA in the environment
3. The removal/price ratio for any technique getting rid of that PFA
4. How likely that PFA in the environment will infiltrate water supplies, food supplies, the biosphere

The potential for harm is documented, and developed nations have a duty to consider protecting their populations from their effects.
